Brave New World Society

Improved Essays
The brave new world book was written by Aldous Huxley where he created and illustrated a fictional world that everyone is cloned, classified since birth into Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. In Huxely's argument, In that society, humans are genetically reproduced and are conditioned to serve a ruling order. In this society disease, poverty, and suffering has disappeared from Earth. The different types of people of the book have similarities and differences compared to our present society. Our present world is very unstable. We are separated by man-made borders and creed. Imagine a world in which there is unity, stability, and identity, these are the principles on which the society is represented in Brave New World. In the New World, Humans are conditioned to work a certain job that they were made for, it's like they made for a purpose to achieve. In the New World there is a caste system of five types of people, which are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. The people in the New World are placed into their caste according to the level of chemical manipulation that the embryo receives when the clones are produced, Meaning that it depends on the embryo to place the clone in the right caste, if they are too smart they are to be alphas, that way they can tell who is inferior to others. Our present society and the new world society, they both had individuals who govern the people, although the people who govern the state in The New World govern in a totalitarian way, meaning that they govern the people in such dictatorial way where they have complete control. the so called controllers are the ones who rule the New World, they also rule over economic, social, and cultural life. In our present society and the new world's society, humans are still the dominant species, transportation is still the same and rules are still applicable. Just like now if someone breaks a rule or a law, they will be punished. Another difference is that the people of the new world, they are conditioned or made so that they never do anything that they're not supposed to do. The people of the new world can do whatever they want because …show more content…
They have free will to go to their job of their choice, where they interact with the people they choose to have as friends or co-workers. That's why the new world society is very different from ours. People in the new world live their lives everyday like us, but they are told what to do like for example if they are alpha that means that they are the smart ones, they get control, but an epsilon would be working as a garbage collector because they aren't highly intellectual, they are unlike our society today, they are put into a certain caste where they belong, and that's what they are here for, They are all basically clones whom their destiny have been chosen by a men and women in a lab. They walk around with their peers of the same caste knowing how much freedom each individual have in the new world. Their lack of free will is not the only difference between our present world and the brave new world, it's that each world interacts with different influences and each world deals with different

    ‘All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects” (Huxley 54). Imagine a world free of famine, war, and a sense of identity all thanks to a controlling government. In “Brave New World” the man made and enforced caste system parallels and juxtaposes societal struggles of communism, through themes of suppression and control, as a means to expose the injustices in a suppressed society. As Deevy beautifully put the Marxist struggle is,”The age old cry of envy swelling from the lips of those who have little against those who have much”.…

    Not only this, but Brave New World is more relevant to the modern world as it encapsulates the gathered feeling of apathy and aversion of feelings among the people in the real world, as apposed to 1984 which slightly refers to this attitude. The people in Brave New World live in a world free of negative emotions due to the elimination of families, religion, and books. Back in the Condition Center the Director explains the burden such institutions brought upon the people of the past, reasoning, “What with mothers and lovers, what with prohibitions they were not conditioned to obey,what with the temptations and lonely remorses.. they were forced feel strongly.

    Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World takes place in what some would call a futuristic dystopia, one that seems cold and sterile, and whose inhabitants are alien to ourselves. Their society is succinctly described by their world motto: “Community, Identity, Stability”. The world that Huxley depicts is one that has completely abandoned many of the things that we consider to be essential to our humanity in favor a stable civilization in which everyone is happy. As a result, their perception of community and identity are very different than our own as they are completely geared towards maintaining stability. Huxley uses the extreme practices of the planetary motto in Brave New World to draw attention to our reality and to causes us to question our social…
